Some songs I've heard while pumping:
Black Dog, Led Zeppelin
Nights in White Satin, Moody Blues
The Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult
Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd (seriously)
We Will Rock You, Queen
The last one was the most jarring. I mean really.
Today, I finally heard what I deemed an appropriate song for the environment (the chorus, at least) -- Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle:
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

Oh my goodness! Those songs are hilarious. I'm imagining "We will, we will...rock you! (pump) Rock you!" (pump). Craziness.
I do love the last one, though, particularly since it seems to be relevant for your sweet family.
Wow. If the music wasn't so wrong for the environment, it'd be seriously funny. SNL could benefit from this material.
Peace.
Just found you from ICLW, and plan on following along. . . I read back a ways and your story is just so touching. I lost our twins due to early onset HELLP/pre-e, and have been told to expect hospital bedrest and a premie in a subsequent pregnancy. The thought of either or both of those things terrifies me! But you seem to have been handling yourself with such grace and dignity. I consider it a glimpse into a secret world that I might also visit one day.
I'll be thinking of your little girl and praying for her continued health and strength. And feel free to share some of the NICU mom etiquette to which you allude - I'm sure it would give us a laugh! (or perhaps a cry?!)
Oh geez...those songs are crazy! The first few times I pumped at the hospital for Brynn I could swear that the motor on my pump in style sounded like it was saying "Let down, let down," instead of just creaking as it pumped. Yeah...my husband and I are crazy I know :-) I'm glad to hear Lexie is holding her own..I think of you both often ((Hugs))
WOW! I would think of something along the lines of classical or something to be more "appropriate". Like the PP said about "we will rock you": Too funny.

HEHEHEHE!! Just the sound the pump makes alone is crazy enough..hang in there!! :)
I guess it could be worse! Maybe those same songs put to elevator music?

I'm trying to remember the wheezy beat of the pump and line it up with some Zepplin and I just can't do it. The rock station probably doesn't create that special feeling that makes pumping easier, does it?
Glad to hear Lexie has graduated to a little more independence. I hope she'll be home with you soon.
those seem to be strange for that room! your daughter is just beautiful!!!!
Who on Earth would have selected such music? Had to be a man, right?
"Red Rubber Ball" brings back such nice, warm memories from my teens. I can understand how it made you feel a little less stressed.
You're both doing so well! Won't be long before you, Lexie and Daddy can start an "ordinary" family life! Won't THAT be something!!
Someone should be fired, lol. That's just silliness.
